The Phoenix Suns led after all three frames until the 4th when they knew James and the Heat were going to strike. It's that old adage, "Its not when it happens ...but the anticipation of it happening".
The Heat beat the Suns 103-97 out of the Motel as two nights before the Heat went down in the New Salt Palace in Salt Lake. King James was dba LeBron James with just 13 points and he had two days to let that night marinate within. The King goes 37 points with 25 of that 37 in the 2nd half and a 4th frame of 14 of that 25 as the Suns could do nothing when he started rolling. With no Wade County Chris Bosh stepped up big as he goes for 21 points and eight boards with Mario Chalmers adding 13 and Hollywood Cole 10. The Heat had 12 turnovers but also had 12 steals to negate the turnovers. Staying aggressive also put the Champs on the Stripe 30 times to the Suns 17.
Suns Shooting Guard Gerald Green led PHX with 26 points (5-8 3pt FG) with PG Goran Dragic adding 15 and nine helpers with Channing Frye also with 15 and eight boards. The Suns had the Heat right where they wanted them and it was in the 4th frame they could not stop the Heat and corral James. SF P.J. Tucker had 14 points and grabbed eight boards as he and a few others had their shot at the King.
The Heat move to 36-14 and get a much-needed "W". The Suns fall to 30-21 as they try and hold off the Warriors and chase down the Pacific leading Clips.
